LateR, my LC is not my DD . I use it primarily as my hunting rig. It's the best hunting truck I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of em'. Go for it you will not be sorry.
"My Disco series II will be replaced with the LC...."
Good move mnwolf. You won't be sorry. I don't know much about the Series II, but I had the dubious honor of owning a Series I when they first came out. By far the worst vehicle I've ever owned.
Slee Offroad or CDan for the actual switch. You'll need to do the pin 7 mod to get the full benefit. Search "CDL switch" and "pin 7 mod" for more detailed explanations. One of the easiest mod's to do to the LC.
Whitey what FirstToy say's is true. I'm trying to figure out a way to blacken my caps right now. If the finish will adhere I'm thinking of Linexing them.
Whitey I installed AR's Teflon coated Chamber rims on my LC about a month ago. So far the finish has held up excellently and I don't think I would have a problem wheeling them in the rocks as they seem pretty stout. The finish on these things is pretty heavy duty. They are a breeze to clean...
The man in the brown truck just delivered mine. This thing is awesome! What a great unit for the money. A big thanks to Brent for putting this together for us and getting us bargain in the process. On a side note, Can I get some ideas from you guy's on where your going to mount these in your rigs?
I'm getting ready to do the dual battery set-up on my rig and was wondering if any of you guy's have any experience with this brand, specifcally the Deka Intimidator series batteries. My local 4x4 guy who is doing the install swears by these and is steering me away from the Optimas. I was just...
92FJ, do a search in this forum on a thread titled "Creeking sound from suspension" (sorry I can't get it to link). Basically I had the same problem and I simply tightened the shock bolts. They were making the new shock bushings squeak. Not my idea. I got great advice from the good people on...
My BFG AT's have been so so. My complaints are similair to what others have said. Weak in mud, iffy on rainy roads, etc., etc.,. If I can get my hands on some I'm going to go with Toyo OC MT,s. My buddy has these on his Tacoma and they are unbeleivable. Also the quietest MT's I've ever heard on...
clbuff, read NorCalDougg's post carefully because that's exactly what I did. Went with the medium no-lift OME from Christo because I didn't want to screw around with the castor correction and as soon as I started slapping armor on my rig it started sagging. I'm kicking myself in the a$$ now and...
Guy's thanks so much for the advice. Got my girlfreind to bounce on the rig last night, but at 5'0" and a 110 lbs I couldn't get her to make much of an impact, although the neighbors did get a kick out of watching a little Phillipino girl bouncing wildly on the Cruiser while her boyfreind was...
Wulf thanks for the help. I'm going to climb under the rig tonight and see if I can hear where the noise is coming from. In regards to the rear springs. If I go with 863 or 864 rear springs is it going to lift the rear end of my LC disproportionately to the front end? This may be a mute point...
First off I'd like to say that I did the requisite searches and couldn't find an answer to my question. Secondly I'd like to state that I'm a complete mechanical retard so I hope you all will bear with me.
My question is in regards to a pronounced creeking sound coming from what sounds and...
